Grr.
I registered with 1and1, probably because there the cheapest. Now I know why. I first found nothing wrong with 1and1, infact, I thought they were pretty nice. Now I know they're not.. From what I hear nameserver changes take up to 1milisecond. Why is 1and1 taking over 2 days sometimes? Could be the fact they're using stone-age technology. But, I'm no webdesigner - oh wait, yes I am. I had to modify my MX Entries, as most of you know by now, to get goolge apps to work with my domain. I wanted to provide my very small masses with personalize ot-design.net emails. I thought it'd be coolio. The only way of changing MX Entries with 1and1, is reverting ALL nameservers, to THERE nameservers. So there was absolutely not way I could do this without messing up my website. Which is now down by the way, because the nameservers are incorrect. GoDaddy was supposed to be much better, so I decided to go there. Well, it was 20 bucks to much for me, so I decided not to. Computing host was much easier, once I figured out my transfer secret. (ohhh). So now I'll have another 2 days appox. of downtimes, all because of 1and1's slow...whatever they have that's slow. Hopefully with ComputingHost it won't take ages to change. I'm a little upset that I referred my friend to 1and1 for his business a few days ago. I dislike 1and1! Arg! Share your complaints and hatred for there slowness and monkeys working at there servers. |

It maybe 4 hours for you, but it's 1-2 days for me.

Well yeah 1&1 is a *BLEEP* company. Godaddy i cant say anything because i never personally tried it. As far as i know Trap17 is my best host for free. I realised instead of paying i better get free hosting because my site is a hobby site anyways and why waste money on it. I love this site.

Learn from your mistakes, I am sure you'll never go there again. I always use Computing Host for all my domain needs. They're speedy and as you know, the Computing Host support is excellent! Well I have to rush.
Have a good day! |

I've used Schuland & Partner AG for 10 years now. (That's the German Company that owns 1&1) And I can't complain. We use them for our corporate hosting and dedicated servers at work. Very reasonable and I can't complain.
But I work on sites in the US and in the EU and dealing with EU can be a different ballgame. (EU data protection laws and such) Whenever we make any server changes, we always plan for a 72-hour delay. Usually it's completed with in 24 hours. |

I'm mainly talking about there dns services. I couldn't change MX Entries without changing my domain ns's. Much easier to do it on computinghost. But I'm still waiting for the transfer request approval....which is taking forever.
